I barely managed to stop myself in an unbalanced position when the creature resumed shooting. I quickly jumped end over end to dodge the plasma, but the creature wasn't done yet. It tore a large rock from the exposed ground and hurled it towards me in a matter of seconds. Knowing I couldn't avoid it without landing, I kicked the rock with all my might, breaking it into two pieces and disposing of it.
As soon as I touched the ground, the creature charged at me, using its shoulder to push me against a magical barrier. I had to act fast or the plasma would surely kill me. Placing both hands on the barrier, I used all my strength to push myself away. The creature was heavy, but I managed to move just enough to escape its attack. With lightning-fast reflexes, I lunged towards the creature, sinking my sharp claws into its unhardened throat to prevent it from shooting plasma. But I didn't stop there. I spun around and aimed at the creature's arm, slicing it off with a single, swift strike.
